well, it just sounds like any other of her albums. i don't really see any unusual variety of songs. booh.

i guess the theme will apply more to her tour.

That's exactly how I am LOL. I understand now why she's so proud of it and even calls it her best album.

haha, i know this is weird, but for some reason seeing the album in itunes at exactly an hour in length really excites me.

the songs in 320kbps sound so much better. i'm hearing sounds here and there that i couldn't before!

Like the album, still hate the title. I don't see how it fits at all.

I'm kind of disappointed with the interludes too T_T

the interludes are the weakest to date imo.
pity, for i love the majority of her intros and interludes, but this time around they're just flat and uninspired.

i actually like the interludes, except for jump. i don't care for it much at all.

i think next level had her best interludes ever.

^ everyone else seems to hate the interludes

Am I the only one who truly adores them all. Anything Orchestral is beautiful if u can make it work and montage did. THE Introduction truly did feel like a tour intro or something. it has a dark beauty which is my kind of thing. Jump! was really fun. i felt like i was in an arcade which works i think for the situation of the album lol.

I like them too! The weakest I think was THE introduction, but it wasn't bad. I absolutely LOVE Jump! to bits. It's one of my favorite interludes from her. montage is just gorgeous too. I don't get how one can call them uninspired. "uninspired" to me would be another LABYRINTH/Kaleidoscope/reBiRTH, these new interludes are completely fresh and different for her.

i agree with you on orchestral music! thats why i like the interludes, they're so grand and impressive.

also reminds me of my story classical!

Okay.. listened to this album all the way through. I have to say I was underwhelmed. x.x I agree with whoever said this album was over-hyped (and I hate feeling like this!)

Too many boring ballads, and too many mediocre mid-tempo songs. It'll be interesting where this album places for me amongst her other albums.

Oh, I do love THE introduction and montage, though. <3

Best song: Microphone
Worst song: Meaning of Love (yeah, I'm starting to somewhat like Sexy Little Things, at least it gives the album some variety).

I'm amazed, this is a long album, 15 tracks, and not a single song is less than 4 minutes except the interludes which is expected. Not a single 3 minute song lol. all very long songs. I like that.

I love the interludes for this album, I found NEXT LEVEL disappointing.. this album is much better. :3 I especially love count down and Don't Look Back, awesome tracks. The two ballads after count down don't really feel necessary, they slow down the album too fast, but I guess they don't belong anywhere else. xD

ok, i know this might not be important to most fo you, but i think its quite silly of the person who uploaded the dont look back PV to add the big surprise twist in the screencaps on the firs tpage. it makes people know what to expect.

I like the new album so far. It's not as good as some of her older albums, but it's still listenable and so much better than the musical disaster "NEXT LEVEL" was. From the new songs I adore "Microphone", "Don't look back" and "Sexy little things" the most. The interludes are okay, nothing special, but I'd die for a full version of "montage".

At that rate, people would have to make it so they can't see any avatars or signatures either because people are using that 'twist' in graphics all the time.
